Tuesday. This morning I was cleaning the kitchen naked and Jamcracker jumped up and bit me on the ass. I would have thought it was damn funny, had I not been bleeding from the ass.
Heather and I have been good lately but NO MORE I tell you! She's come up with a bungholed idiotic new "system" (the quotation marks of scorn) where every employee has a "closing duty" to do at the end of the day and we have to REPORT to her and have her SIGN OFF on it before we can leave. Which amounts to me scrubbing down the nasty old kitchen as usual ever since Tiffani left, only now Heather gets to come inspect me and tell me I missed a spot and smirk. Motherfucker. She totally fucks her mom. I hope a scorpion claws its way up her cunt and never stops biting her. I was so mad I stole seven legos. I was seven-lego mad.
Will Smith threw himself full-length on the ground at my feet. Bruised his knees but wouldn't admit it. I'm still not going to "babysit" him, as he keeps asking. I'll pay you! I have my allowance! Dirty.
All day I think bad thoughts about my writing group. I don't want to go. We will be meeting in the bookstore I quit so rudely a few months ago. Do I really want to face those people? Can I do so without embarrassment or other bad things? It takes me all day to realize that I just plain don't want to go, for lots of reasons, and I don't go, dammit. I go to the park expecting to walk, but it's words that want to happen, and they do. A little sleep too. The robins live in this tree, and they never stop feeding their babies.

Developer has Southgate site secured despite dairy plant sale
The recent sale of the Safeway milk plant in South Burnaby to a dairy company will have no impact on the proposed Southgate project, says its developer.
In fact, at the moment, Ledingham McAllister still owns the plant site, said its president and CEO, Ward McAllister.
Agropur Cooperative of Quebec announced earlier this month it purchased the Burnaby plant as part of a $356-million transaction with Sobeys that also includes two plants in Edmonton and one in Winnipeg.
That sale still requires regulatory approvals before it's finalized, something that is expected to happen in August, said Agropur spokesperson Marc Labelle earlier this month. The Burnaby plant employs abut 70 people.
The 48-acre Southgate community is being planned that would include the former Safeway distribution centre lands, bounded by 11th and 14th avenues and 15th and 18th streets near the New Westminster border, the dairy plant and two city-owned properties at 7701 and 7679 18th St.
McAllister explained that when his company bought the 42-acre Safeway distribution centre site in 2011, it was all a single parcel that included the dairy plant.
The developer has a lease agreement with Safeway to lease the milk plant portion back to them for $1 a year.
• Draft Southgate concept plan gets positive reviews from council
• Southgate plan eyes up to 20 towers for Edmonds
Until the master plan for the redevelopment is complete and approved by city hall, it is not allowed to subdivide the property, he said. When it is, it will subdivide off the milk plant portion. Under the original deal, the developer is obligated to sell it back for $1 to Safeway, which has since been taken over by Sobeys.
When the owners of the dairy plant decide to relocate the operation, Ledingham McAllister has a registered right of first refusal to buy the site back at current market value.
McAllister said he doesn't expect the dairy operation to be a source of conflicts with new homes to be built there. "There's probably six trucks delivering milk there every day … But other than that it's really a very, very quiet use. We're not concerned about it at all."
Both the developer and city hall expected the housing project would have to coexist for a time with the milk plant, he said. But in the long run, it "doesn't make logistic sense" to bring in trucks from the Fraser Valley and back again.
He estimated that the infrastructure of the physical plant would cost about $75 million to relocate.
"They're choosing not to move at this point, but in future they most likely will. And we're planning around that," McAllister said.
"But I may be alive, I may be in diapers or I may be dead … I don't know when they're going to move. But they won't be there forever."
In the meantime it will likely take about 20 years to build out the Southgate community if all goes as planned.
Following a June open house on its concept plan, Ledingham McAllister has applied for a rezoning for its master plan for the development. The plan would guide future rezoning applications for each phase of the project.
The concept calls for a variety of housing types, including up to 20 towers ranging in height from 19 to 46 storeys. At its heart will be a five-acre park with a small lake and meandering stream. The two city-owned parcels on 18th Street would serve as a connection to the City in the Park neighbourhood and the Edmonds SkyTrain station.
Once the master plan is complete, it will go to a public hearing before council makes a final decision.

Vitals Co-Founder Todd Rosengart Offers Lifesaving Tips in the Fight
Against Heart Disease
LYNDHURST, N.J., Feb. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- While recent data released from the Center for Disease Control indicates that deaths resulting from coronary heart disease and stroke have declined since 1999*, major risk factors such as obesity, high blood pressure and high cholesterol remain on the rise. Vitals.com, a leading online doctor evaluation service listing more than 12,700 cardiologists, is "Going Red" in February at http://www.vitals.com/focus/heart to support American Heart Month and promote the simple steps that Americans can take to improve their heart health through early detection and living well.
"Although heart disease threatens both men and women equally, every individual can take preventative measures to eliminate or control their own risk factors," said Dr. Todd Rosengart, Chief Cardiothoracic Surgery at Stony Brook University Medical Hospital and Chief Medical Advisor of MDX Medical, which created Vitals. "With the help of a doctor, cholesterol levels, blood pressure, obesity and diabetes can easily be monitored to maintain a long and healthy life," Rosengart adds.
Recognized internationally for his advancements in the field of cardiac surgery, Dr. Rosengart stresses the importance of physical activity as the most important factor in preventing death from cardiovascular disease. With 460,000 women dying each year, heart disease is still the #1 killer of women in America, as reported by the American Heart Association. Rosengart recommends vigorous exercise for an hour and half a week or brisk walks for three hours a week to reduce coronary heart disease risk in women by 30 to 40 percent. Moderate physical activity can also lead to a 20 percent decrease in the risk of stroke for women.

Cities on high alert
The city as a place of conflict and civil disorder is part of our cultural zeitgeist.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg rang alarm bells when he said that high unemployment could lead to mass social unrest in cities across the United States. "You have a lot of kids graduating college who can't find jobs. That's what happened in Cairo. That's what happened in Madrid. You don't want those kinds of riots here," Bloomberg explained in a radio address last month.
The mayor was not alone in this assessment. Former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn said as much back in 2008. "Unemployment," he declared, "represents a risk to the stability of existing democracies."
Bloomberg's warning came with his endorsement of President Barack Obama's new jobs creation bill. As a big city mayor, Bloomberg knows too well that the social problems associated with high unemployment, widening inequality, and economic stagnation are most acute in urban centres. Whereas Strauss-Kahn's words proved prophetic, Bloomberg was learning from recent history.
Since the onset of the global economic crisis in 2007-2008, cities have seen rising levels of violence and social unrest: riots and looting in the U.K., intensified gang violence in major U.S. cities, street clashes in Athens, "flash robs" in Philadelphia, mass protests in Madrid, ghetto dwellers and security forces facing off in Kingston, Jamaica, rival drug cartels engaged in shootouts in Juarez, Mexico; the list goes on. As many political observers have remarked, a driving force behind the Arab Spring — apart from an unquenched thirst for democracy — is unemployment, and in particular, extremely high levels of youth unemployment.
Non-governmental organizations have started making the connections as well. A recent report from the International Red Cross, entitled Urban Violence: War By Any Other Name, observes: "Around the world, cities are experiencing an alarming increase in violence and its resulting misery . . . Chronic conflict makes daily life in some places almost like living in a war zone."
And images of urban unrest not only flash nightly across our TV screens and occupy the pages of our newspapers, they also permeate our popular culture as never before: just watch recent science fiction films like Attack the Block, District 9 and Battle: Los Angeles. The city as a place of conflict and civil disorder is part of our cultural zeitgeist.
We have then, it appears, entered an age of urban unrest.
But London is not Philadelphia and Cairo not Kingston. From riots and looting, to mass protest, flash robs and gang warfare there are very different types of urban violence and social unrest with seemingly disparate causes. But while poverty, inequality and unemployment do not tell the full story in all places, they do tell much of the story in many places.
In the case of the U.K.'s recent disorder, we have learned from The Guardian that the vast majority of rioters brought before the courts are young, poor and unemployed. In the Tottenham neighbourhood, where the riots began, 54 people chase every one available job.
Where austerity and cutbacks to government services deepen poverty and unemployment, unrest soon follows. Two Barcelona-based economists have published research that clearly shows a link between the variables. Empirical data on close to 40 European and Latin American countries demonstrates a positive statistical association between government spending cuts, unemployment and levels of unrest, including anti-government demonstrations, riots, strikes and attempted revolutions.
In addition, path-breaking research by social epidemiologists has found that among advanced democracies, more equal societies (and by extension, cities) are also more socially stable and less violent.
In the absence of work and of hope, different ways of organizing human activity fill the social void. The anomie brought on by unemployment and other forms of social exclusion can be addressed through participation in other social groupings, sometimes a gang, sometimes a mob, sometimes a radical political or religious organization.
When channelled into movements seeking to address legitimate grievances, as in the Arab Spring, urban unrest, disruption and disorder can be welcomed. History tells us that rough means can sometimes bring about progressive ends, especially when democratic channels are closed to those suffering injustice. Yet few urban denizens welcome the type of violence and disruption that causes misery, damage and distress in their lives and in the life of their city.
We live in an urban age. In 1950, less than 30 per cent of the world's population were city dwellers. Now, for the first time in human history, the world's urban population outnumbers its rural. As never before, the fate of humanity is tightly intertwined with the fate of the city. And whether we live in Toronto or Tokyo, Lagos or Los Angeles, safety and security are necessary conditions for a flourishing urbanity and a decent quality of life.
As even the conservative-leaning mayor of New York City has realized, addressing inequality, deprivation and unemployment with meaningful government action is central to maintaining social cohesion in an era of economic uncertainty.
Simon Black is a researcher in the area of urban social policy at the City Institute at York University.

In the military world, leaders who suffer a resounding defeat are seldom allowed a "second chance" to prove their skills. Fortunately, the same doesn't always apply in the world of video games. After the debacle that was G.I. Combat, designer Eric Young returns with an epic World War II simulation that's up there with such classics as Close Combat and Combat Mission. In fact, his Squad Assault: West Front actually brings both games to mind because it plays very much like the two games were seamlessly merged together.
As the title suggests, the action is solely focused on the Western Front and more specifically revolves around the D-Day invasion and the liberation of France. Both Allied and German forces are playable, with the major combatants of the campaign represented in American, British, Canadian, and even Free French opposing the German forces. Squad Assault includes full campaigns for each side as well as individual engagements with both historical as well as hypothetical "what-if" scenarios.
The heart of the game is the campaign mode, where you'll start with your task force of men and have to lead them through several battles. As with other campaign-focused simulations, your results in battle determine how many replacements you'll receive, but Young adds in a neat little feature that also allows you to rest your fatigued veterans so that they can return for a later battle. Little things like this really help make this game stand out. Additionally, if you aren't exactly up for the long haul but want to play a few battles, you can choose to take part in an "operation," which is sort of like a mini-campaign built around two or three individual engagements.
The actual gameplay is very reminiscent of Close Combat, except with vastly updated graphics that now bring the action to ground level, complete with 3D units. Truth be told, Squad Assault is probably the best-looking, strategic-level World War II game to date. The uniforms, equipment, and weapons are convincingly accurate as are the accompanying sound effects. In this regard, this title outdoes even Combat Mission for all-out realism. The controls are the basic pull-down commands where squads can be ordered to do things like attack, ambush, fire, and defend. Additionally, you'll get to highlight your squads and check on your individual troops to see their relative strength and condition including morale.
All of this transpires in real-time, so you really don't get a chance to think too closely. This makes for a rather intense game, so if you do need to wimp out, or just prefer the old-school turn-based gameplay, Squad Assault will let you auto-pause and place orders or get an assessment of the battle. Likewise, a 2D overhead map is also available and provides another way to direct the action. Along with these options, Squad Assault features pretty impressive detail in terms of terrain, weather, and other visual effects. The damage modeling is decent enough for this style of gameplay while the animations are smooth with a quick framerate.
Unfortunately, Squad Assault falls short in a few areas. Built on the G.I. Combat engine, Squad Assault features a few of the same problems that plagued that title. The game crashed a couple of times and locked up briefly during intense firefights, but perhaps the biggest issue is the armor modeling. Balancing in WWII games like this is always tricky, because much of the Allied equipment (including tanks) wasn't really on par with what the Germans had at the time. As a result, the balancing just seems off at times in the Allied favor. In some situations, the Shermans behave unnaturally like super tanks. While causal gamers might be forgiving and see as a type of "adjustment," it's exactly the kind of thing that drives hardcore WWII buffs away in droves.
Beyond the balancing issues, Squad Assault is a solid game. This is especially true with multiplayer; you can look for balanced scenarios where command decisions will make all the difference in the outcome of a battle. The quick-paced gameplay also means that you'll have to make even more snap decisions when engaging against a human opponent and this will result in some heated matches. Some minor pathfinding issues remain with units and the game features almost ridiculously long load times even on a super-fast PC, but hopefully these issues (along with the crashes) can be fixed with a patch or two. If Eric Young and company can continue to refine what they've created, Squad Assault could be the start of a franchise that takes the action to other theaters of operations during the Big One.

Limpopo PTT gets down to business
Comment on this storyLimpopo - The ANC's provincial task team (PTT) has imposed a moratorium on filling mayoral and council vacancies in the Limpopo government, a PTT spokesman said on Friday.
"It is an ANC-led government, so municipalities, especially mayors and councillors account to the ANC and have been deployed by the ANC to carry out or implement the policies of the ANC or its election manifesto," provincial spokesman Sipho Dikgale said.
The move was part of efforts to improve governance and root out corruption.
"Our role as the African National Congress is in an oversight role, so they account to us in terms of implementing such policies," Dikgale said of the moratorium.
Other PTT measures were that mayors and municipalities submit a report to the PTT dating from 2011 Ä after local government elections Ä to demonstrate how they had met their goals.
"We wanted to see from those reports how the ANC can intervene or assist government," he said.
The reports the PTT requested were not on tenders that had been awarded, as reported, but were overall reports on how municipalities were managed.
The PTT would also receive information from ANC branches at ward level on how areas were managed and would work with the ANC's national executive committee on addressing problems in the province.
The PTT's establishment was announced in a statement on March 25 after its provincial structure was dissolved.
Earlier in March, the province's provincial executive committee, chaired by premier Cassel Mathale, was dissolved after a decision taken by the ANC's national executive committee.
At the time, ANC secretary general Gwede Mantashe said Limpopo's PEC was dissolved because of its "un-ANC behaviour and institutionalised factional conduct".
Dikgale said as an ANC deployee and "loyal and disciplined comrade of the ANC", the PTT had no doubt Mathale would help its efforts.
Democratic Alliance MPL Desiree van der Walt would "urge" the national Treasury to remind the PTT it had no mandate to pronounce on how tenders were awarded.
"While premier Mathale should be removed from office for the collapse of delivery in Limpopo... he cannot be replaced by more of the same," she was quoted as saying. - Sapa

The Last Titan
Apr 15, 2008

Raiders Interested In Brian Urlacher
General manager Reggie McKenzie has been busy this offseason with the defense, cutting Michael Huff and bringing in Kaluka Maiava from Cleveland and Nick Roach from Chicago and the team could still be looking for more, including with Dansby or even Brian Urlacher and James Harrison, who was released by the Steelers.
Dansby could be a good fit with the Raiders and would be the second linebacker the team signed away from Miami. Dansby has been productive through his career and he led Miami with 134 tackles last season while also making one sack. He became expendable with the new signings and although he was shocked about being released, he could be West coast bound. Urlacher is currently back in talks with the Bears, but if that breaks down Oakland could get back into it.

CORRECTED: 4TH LD: Daiei founder Nakauchi dies of stroke at 83.
OSAKA, Sept. 19 KyodoIsao Nakauchi, the founder of Daiei Inc. who turned a small drugstore into Japan's largest supermarket chain and later saw his retail empire crash through over-expansion in the bubble economy years, died of a stroke in Kobe on Monday. He was 83.
The University of Marketing and Distribution Sciences, founded by Nakauchi, said he died at 9:30 a.m. at a Kobe hospital. He had been in a coma since he suffered a stroke late August, the hospital said Thursday.
Nakauchi, a native of Osaka, began selling medical products in Kobe with his father after returning to Japan from the World War II battlefields in the Philippines.
Nakauchi, who later won fame as a pioneer of discount retailing, turned Daiei into the country's biggest retailer in terms of sales in 1972 from a single drugstore he opened in 1957 in Osaka, initially called the Housewives' Store Daiei Co.
In 1980, Daiei became the first Japanese retailer to exceed 1 trillion yen in sales.
Daiei's financial standing rapidly deteriorated after the collapse of the bubble economy. During the asset-inflated economic era in the late 1980s, Daiei aggressively expanded its business -- from the purchase of a professional baseball team to resort hotel management.
Daiei is now rehabilitating under the state-backed Industrial Revitalization Corp. of Japan, concentrating on its supermarket business while backing off from the Nakauchi-era strategy of discounting and nationwide outlet networks.
Nakauchi's policy of selling ''a large amount of good things at cheaper prices'' once served as a driving force in making Daiei Japan's No. 1 retailer but now fails to adequately respond to diversified consumer tastes.
In 2004, Nakauchi sold all his shareholdings in Daiei group companies to take the blame for their financial trouble. He also stepped aside from Daiei's honorary post of ''founder.''
In addition to having taken the post of chairman, president and chief executive officer at Daiei, Nakauchi served as a vice chairman of the Japan Business Federation between 1990 and 1995.
After giving up the right to represent any of the companies in the Daiei group in 2001, Nakauchi had been serving as the head of Nakauchi Gakuen, an educational corporation that runs the university.
Nakauchi suffered a stroke on Aug. 26 and had been undergoing treatment at the Kobe hospital.
He gave the last lecture on July 8 at the university for students wanting to become entrepreneurs, stressing the importance of English and information-technology skills for succeeding after graduation, according to university officials.
A private funeral service only for Nakauchi's relatives will be held, said university officials, adding that it will consider on Tuesday or afterward whether to hold a service on its own.
Commenting on his death, Daiei President Yasuyuki Higuchi and Chairwoman Fumiko Hayashi said in a jointly issued statement that Nakauchi had pursued a ''marketing revolution from the standpoint of consumers.''
They pledged efforts to be made by all Daiei officials and employees as a whole to revive the struggling retailer.
Supermarket chain Ito-Yokado Co. Chairman Toshifumi Suzuki said, ''He was an epoch-making reformer who was the first to foresee the arrival of the mass consumption era, develop the new business of all-around supermarkets and materialize the popular dream of an affluent consumer lifestyle.''
Koshi Mizukoshi, chairman of the Kobe Chamber of Commerce and Industry, where Nakauchi was vice chairman for 12 years from 1979, described hearing the news of his death as like seeing a big falling star since Nakauchi had defined the era of the distribution revolution.

SETI@home: Spike Histogram Plots |
log in |
This graph plots the number of spike detections at each frequency. Almost all of these detections are from noise. The three peaks at 1419, 1420 and 1421 MHz are due to test signals which are constantly injected to make sure the system is working. The fourth peak is due to radio frequency interference. SETI@home looks for signals at 15 different bandwidths, each twice as coarse as the previous one. This plot shows the number of signals detected as a function of bandwidth. |

Josh Hamilton went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in his debut against the Texas Rangers Friday afternoon in Arlington.
The 31-year-old outfielder, who signed a five-year, $125 million deal with the Los Angeles Angels in December, has now gone 1-for-16 to start the season, including eight strikeouts.
Hamilton was booed in his return to Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, making matters worse for the five-time All-Star.
Hamilton said, via Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times:
Hamilton: "It probably hurts a little more to know people will turn that quickly. To think they kind of supported you .. tells you a lot."
— Bill Shaikin (@BillShaikin) April 5, 2013
Obviously, it's still very early in the 2013 campaign, and you figure the talented slugger will get it going eventually, but the Angels are obviously hoping to not see a repeat of Albert Pujols' 2012 situation. Pujols managed to belt out 30 home runs and notch 105 RBI, but he also hit .285 (a career low for him).
There's no sense in overreacting to Hamilton's slow start, even if his "slump" continues for a while, but you can't help but think of all the mega-long-term deals that destroyed clubs in the past when you see him struggling.
Hamilton hit .285 with 43 home runs, 128 RBI and 103 runs in his contract year last season. He was a monster throughout most of the regular season, but he didn't show up in the one-game playoff against the Baltimore Orioles. With more money in his pocket now, he's going to be expected to step up when it matters most.

What a travesty that the good old southern boys stole this one away from a true player that shows emotion and heart in every game he plays. Manti, you are the true Heismann winner to me!
